β¦ Synopsis
Excited-state proton transfer in 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiaxole (HBT) dissolved in pyridine is investigated. New absorptions and fluorescence bands are detected after addition of water or NaOH to the solution. The spectra are identical to the HBT anion absorption and fluorescence. Picosecond spectroscopy is used to determine the kinetics of electronically excited states. The excited-state lifetime of the anion is 3.5 ns. The tautomeric fluorescence of HBT after proton transfer builds up within 4 ps after excitation and decays with a time constant of 20 ps.
